Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
My frame arrived today and all my worries about quality issues faded  Frame is a top notch without any wringles, cheese and etc.

Yessss. I have it too. It's super annoying. I had a puncture last ride and it took me forever to get the thru axle aligned with the wheel. Is quite annoying November 21, 2024, 12:58:50 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Has anyone out in the real world been able to quantify whether or not the square downtube is actually causing significant drag? Meaning, does the riding dynamics on road feel draggy? Can you actually tell? I spent a significant amount of time riding side by side with friends on flat terrain, and as someone who pays close attention to power data, I feel confident that this bike doesn't come with an aero penalty. Based on what I've read about aerodynamics, the downtube is positioned in the 'dirty air' created by the front wheel, so having a slightly less aerodynamic shape doesn’t significantly impact performance.

I haven't see a moving LCR so far. Just photos of bikes standing still, so ... If you add a motor to your bike, you might catch one of us November 29, 2024, 07:49:00 AM |

Can I ask what the problem with your frame was? Mine arrived in perfect condition: the quality of the carbon was excellent, the paint flawless, the bearing seats perfect, the bottom bracket threads perfect, and last but not least, the faces where the brake calipers rest were milled and perfectly parallel, or rather, perpendicular to the brake discs. It has never been so easy to align brake calipers... The result of your crusade is that everyone who has had a good experience with the frame will write it here, haha! It is not really comprehensible. But it must have something to do with buses.  Just enter “bus” in the search bar. It seems to be an massive problem for Dinorello and Serge...

I've already detailed all the issues in this thread with pictures. Im glad that your frame turned out ok and it's probably due to the fact that I was "crusading" my issues with LC acting as their test pilot/ guinea pig December 02, 2024, 04:15:59 PM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
I received my frameset yesterday, took a bit longer than I thought but that's not an issue for me. I'm in no rush and will use the christmas break to build up the bike. I did a thorough inspection of the frame and fork (including checking inside with an endoscope) and everything looks as close to perfect as I could have hoped. All mounts are faced, there's no overspray anywhere and all parts were included. The paintjob is absolutely perfect, the initial pictures Jim sent to me (linked earlier in this thread) didn't do it justice, at all. The saddle clamp mechanism is a bit finicky and caused a moment of frustration, but after a couple minutes the installation of the saddle worked out well enough. So far, off to a great start.
